Have already verified the ubuntu ISO file and have also checked the pen drive (both are fine)

Most likely you are running Rufus from the root of a drive (C:\, D:\, etc).

Move it into a subfolder, and you should find it works better.

This is something that I have already fixed for the next version of Rufus.

Oh, and next time, please do follow the check list, thank you.
